is this a worthy domain name to buy?...

the name itself is terrible..but those rankings are quite good and some of those search terms have decent OVT so traffic wise, regardless of how convoluted that name is..its pretty good. Are you looking for the traffic or the sales or both to make money? It is unfortunate that they have given away the product for free since 2003, would be hard to show how much of the purported traffic (no traffic stats provided) converts to the eBook sale. In short, Im not sure of an answer due to lack of info on a few things..generally I dont buy when Im not too sure. (generally lol).

The name stinks, and 1700 for a pagerank 0 site?

and I doubt if the content is THAT good.

It's a PR6 with a listing at DMOZ, and with some really nice rankings for specific queries explicitly related to the site content. It's no doubt the site has been nicely optimized, IMHO. I've got no experience with this kind of sales but to me it seems that 1700$ is *too* big a figure for traffic purposes alone. As Koldarkness says it would depend on how much that traffic would convert in ebook sales...

I guess this is another example of a really ugly domain name that however helps increasing rankings for specific queries.
